As long as you abide by the conditions above :-) here's the info, The back of your unit should look like this; Power at the bottom, speakers in the middle and at the top.... The iso connector is made if three parts, the one for the multichanger/iPod is this one; You can install this on its own.

Cheers, but I forgot to mention its in black.

After the one to the right of the accelerator pedal please!

A couple of years ago I found a place in Leyton that would repair and plug a tyre for £5, but they don't speak English and last time I went its up to a tenner.

Are they the same as exhaust heat shield clips? Got a close up pic?

I made a mk4 golf handbrake 'fit', i didn't want to cut the outer tunnel cover plastic so it sits at a slight angle when disengaged. looks like this when down; And up three clicks; Let me know if you want the how to...

On my 93 VR6, What does it do?

Cheers, thats a great help! Try one on a guide (with a squirt of oil to protect the seal) they sit just above the shoulder. Im not sure how high they sit though. I could measure one in a week or two. Or if your urgent try GSF, they are 95p each. Im pretty sure the shouldered guides sit higher than the standard guides by the thickness of the shoulder. I couldn't find a lot of information about this problem except that some people have had problems with the shouldered guides and high lift cams. I don't think it's common with the 263's as they would be more documentation of this problem. Maybe my 263's aren't 263's and have higher lift, It sure does go well :-) Anyway, I installed my guides at 2.422" or 61.52mm from the top of the head, just about as far as you can, the only downside I can see is that more of the valve guide is in the airflow. There is a surprising amount of play allowed in the guides, yours may be ok. If you have the original guides installed can you measure from the top of the head to the 'base' under the valve seal. Just to see how far out I am.

[quote=Stonejag;974934 When buying OEM replacement valve guides do they have the shoulder too? I'll be using Schimmel 263s. Seems strange that they wouldn't always use shouldered guides and just instruct you to push them out from the valve side, but hey... My replacement head has never been skimmed before - so when it's done this time it will be factory dimensions again as the corroded areas were built up with weld so only the welded areas need skimming. My skim will be dirt-cheap so I'll see if I can find a cheap place to do the guide reaming and seat machining and leave them if the guides are within tolerance. Cheers, Stone I think they all have the shoulder. My valve stem seals were crushed by schimmel 263's when I had the guides installed at the height the shouldered guides sit. I bought Victor Reinz OEM seals, I think you can get shallower seals but I've never seen them for sale. The top guide has been crushed by 1.2mm, same as the extra lift on the schimmel's. So I've now installed the guides as low as possible, I've only tested the engine and haven't put any miles in it, but it seems good so far.

Yeah, skimming the head won't raise the compression, and although the valves sit proud of the head face, they should protrude by the same amount as you can recut the seats to compensate. You still have about 5.5mm space in the piston chamber before you add the head gasket thickness. This does mean you you have more clearance on the valve stem seals by the amount you skim the head, which helps. I think you would be lucky to install the guides with 1 ton pressure, and it helps to put them in the freezer for 24hrs before. There is also a minimum deck height for the head, I think it's about 139mm, it's in the Bentley book although I could never find the height of the factory head.

The original valve guides do not have the shoulder and will press straight out. All replacement guides have a shoulder to allow ease install to the correct depth. Only problem is that depth is not correct if you install aftermarket cams and the valve seals can be crushed. The shoulder can be machined off if you can set the depth accurately. I suspect that Bentley are referring to heads which have had the shouldered guides installed, and cannot be reused because they would be pressed out from the wrong side, although I really don't see a problem if your careful with it. Make sure you use decent guides some are too soft (BGA), I've found Febi to be ok.

The pulley bolt is; Part# N0100873 M18 x 1,5 x 40mm Still don't know where you can get one yet.

Thanks Hassan, but I've just ordered one.

Worth checking the manifold temp plug hasn't been swapped with the black fan controller plug on the thermostat housing. The manifold temp plug comes out of the loom next to the yellow and blue temp sensors.

Cheers Rory! Payment sent.

Hi Hassan, Do you know if these would come with a replacement for bracket, part no. 191 201 654C Also do you know the thickness of the steel used?

Hi Steve, Are you still taking orders? I would like to order one scuttle panel. Can gift monies asap. Thanks to Rory and Steve for organising!

Hi, I'm after an early Timing Chain Tension Bolt. Does anyone have a spare new one or know where to get a cheap one?

Great! Thanks, I've been looking for these for ages.

G11(blue) and G12(red) will not mix together. G12+(lilac), G12++(lilac) and G13(lilac) will mix with G11 and G12 but its best to give the system a good flush anyway. You can pickup a 5 Litre premix G13 coolant for £8.50 +Vat from Euro car parts. It's a 50/50 mix so it saves you buying distilled water as well.

I'm after a set of these please.

Yeah, mines a bolt. No gum though, just a copper washer.

Does it have the round ball or cylindrical bar end?

I forgot about AVS, bargain! I'm sure I looked at them when I was planning my build, oh well... I tried some other guides from BGA that were soft as ****. The Febi ones are ok though. I crushed my seals when I installed 263 with the valve guides set at the "lip" height. They were 50 thou high for me.[ATTACH]74180[/ATTACH] Crushed seal at the top of pic.

No probs, would be interesting to see what the change over point and boost levels were.
